Fatal train accident reported in Bucks County

An AMTRAK high-speed Acela train fatally struck one person late Tuesday night in Lower Bucks County near SEPTA's Croydon Station, according to emergency radio dispatches.

Local and railroad police were investigating.

The person was reportedly struck near Cedar Avenue just after 10 p.m. on the Amtrak Northeast Corridor rail line used by the Acela high-speed train, which travel at speeds of up to 150 mph between Boston and Washington, D.C.

Service was temporarily disrupted.

In December, a SEPTA commuter train struck and killed a 41-year-old woman walking on the southbound tracks between the Bristol and Croydon train stations. Her death was believed to be a suicide.
